The Canse of Trofase Rains.
Everyone knows that the heat of the
eun raises water from the earth in the
form ot vapor, which hecomes clouds that
float around and at last discharge the
water of .which they consist; this hiinply
is the cause of rain. Eut we ask the reader
if he haseverconsiilered that the amount of
water evaporated by the sun ,dejends on
the lnlter's heat? If this were increased
more water would evaporate and more
would come down ; and if it were dimin
ished less would evaporate and less would
come down, and the amountof rain would
. diminish, as it is certain that the water
which comes down as rain must have heen
previously raised by the heat cf the sun;
as tl.e 8un is sometimes obscured by spots,
it must be supposed to give less heat, and
therefore cannot raise so much water as
vapor; and under these circumstances the
sua cannot properly le the cause of ex
traordinarily heavy rains and inundations.
This is the theory advocated in some
quarters, but it cannot stand the scrutiny
of reason.
Measurements show that the heat emit
ted by the cua is uot regulated by the
spots; while at the same time that spots
appear, the facula?, giving more heat, also
make their appearance, anil go far to
compensate for the dimunition of heat
caused by the spots, so that the total heat
'milted by the orb is, for all practical
purposes, a tolerably constant quantity;
and it must be remembered that the evap
oration chiefly takes place from the sur
face of the ocean, which covers three
fourths of the earth's surface. Three
fourths of this evaporated water falls
back into the ocean, and one-fourth on
the land, or perhaps a little more, as
clouds appear to be attracted by mount
ains and ,f preference discharge their
contents on land; but in any case the
ocean receives back, in the form of rain,
more than half the water evaporated from
the surface. The circumstances attending
the condensation Tf the cloud-vapors into
rain are very complex; anil this operation
is subject to so many various conflicting
inlluences that a regular dbtribution of
rain would be a matter of surprise, if not
h total impossibility, and therefore we see
the grcatot irregularity in the rainfall
prevail. In some limited regions of tiie
earth, however, there exists a regularity
in this regard; but this is simply caused
by the more uniform circumstances in
which such exceptional localities are
placed; and the causes of this regularity
mny be, and have been, clearly traced by
those who make the investigation of this
suhiect a special pursuit.
If the total amount of evaporation, over
the whole surface of the earth, be a nearly
constant quantity, the total amountof rain
falling over its whole surface must also be
regular, because what goes up must come
down ; and if we had rain gaugesdistributed
over the whole earth and ocean surface
this proposition would, no doubt, be
verified. lint, by the irregular distribu
tion of rainfall, some localities may be
lilK-rally supplied at the expense of others;
jr, at some periods of time, the rainfall
may become concentrated into shorter
periods. If, theu, such larger rainfalls
iaK.e place within the limits of the valleys
which supply our rivers, an inundation is
;he consequence. It may be that the
amount of rainfall in some inundated dis
tricts is not greater for the whole season
dian is usually the case, or, if it is, the
rainfall of other bK-alities, or on the ocean,
may have, een so much less; so that, in
jrder to account for an inundation or a
great mini' ill, it is not necessary to sup
pose the total amount of water failing has
been greater than usual.
These consnlr-rat ions show how unneces
sary it is to look for cosmic causes in ex
planation of such comparatively trilling
inetcorological phenomena as an extra
rainfall in some districts. Some philoso
phers have even gone so far as to attribute
it to the jets of incandescent hydrogen,
ejected iu the form of protuberances (dur
ing solar j-turms) from the sun's surface to
a height of a hundred thousand miles to
wn d the earth, which, cooling while ap
proaching our atmosphere, form water.
If we consider that, at a di.-tance of :?,WJ,
jou miles from the sun, the gravity to
ward that bodj- is nearly as great as is the
gravity on the surface of the earth toward
the earth, it is clear thatthissolarhj-drogen
lias little chance to reach us. If it did,
and if it combined with our atmosphere's
axygen to form water, a terrible fate would
te iu store for the earth; because, if all the
;xygen in our atmosphere were exhausted
to combine with hydrogen to form water,
it would only form water enough to raise
the surface of the ocean six feet, as is
t.n-ily proved by calculation. Scientific

A Singular Wedding.
A marriage took place the other day
at Carnavon under peculiarly romantic
circumstances. The bridegroom was a
returned convict, and at the time of the
wedding was awaiting his trial at the as
sizes for theft. The bride had assisted
him in his thieving enterprise and was also
waiting to be tried. On the morning of
the wedding the two lovers were escorted
1 y the police to the I toman Cat hoi ic chapel,
where they were united together in the
bonds of matrimony. Immediately alter
t lie ceremony the happy pair took their
departure to the Assizes Court, where they
were arraigned before Lord Coleridge
and convicted of the crime laid to their
charge. The bridegroom was sentenced
to tie years' jx-nal servitude and the
bride to six months' imprisonment with
hard labor. A wedding under these, cir
- cumstances no doubt appears at first sight
rather a melancholy affair; but, on the
other hand, it must be iulmittctl that if a
similarity of tastes is the harbinger of a
happy union, the imprisoned couple have
a better prospect of happiness than many
brides and bridegrooms whose weddings
are chronicled as " marriages in high
life," anil who, instead of being shut iip
in separate buildings immediately after
the ceremony, and spared all trouble and
expense of housekeeping, are condemned
to dwell together regardless of cost and
consequences. Iondon Observer.

N. Y. ishe was four years old. More
for fun than for fear of her getting lost, her
older sisters taught her to tell in" English
where she lived. fciic could speak very
little English, but could talk fast enough
in Syriac. t?he was in the habit of going
with some of the family, and sometimes
aione, when she had a penny, to the
grocer's round the corner. One day,
when the folks were away, she started for
the grocer's, but, turning the wrong cor
ner, she wandered on for some time, and,
finding she could not get home, sat dow n
on a doorstep and began to cry. Soon a
police officer came along, anil when he
asked her where she li veil she repeated
very promptly and distinctly what her
sisters had taught her: "i'ly name is

The Georgia Scare
Not many days ago Georgia had a ter
rible scare. Somebody reported that he
had somewhere found a most terrible let
ter, a diabolical letter, not only in orthog
raphy, but also in substance. It was sup.
posed to be intended for an order to the
colored population to rise en manse and
massacre the whites. Kill all, men, women
and children, except the pretty young la
dies. Kill them with guns, pistols and
swords; kill them with spears, pruning
hooks and knives; kill them with scythes,
axes and pitchforks ; with claws, teeth and
toe-nails. Such was the terrible meaning
attached to this strange letter with the bar
barous orthography. Straightway all
Georgia was up iu arms. The merchant
left his store, and the mechanic his shop;
the farmer left his plow in the furrow, ac
cording to Revolutionary usage, and has
tened to suppress the horrible insurrection
which they feared was about to break out
Everywhere the telegraph bore the
news, and throughout the South white
people sympathized with the unfor
tunate whites of Georgia. Of course, the
cause of the insurrection was the contrac
tion of the currency, the Republican mis
rule of the South and Radical disturbers
in Georgia. The Democratic brethren
were accordingly strengthened and all
things seemed to promise that the affair
would prove a tirst-class electioneering
document, conclusive in its showing and
perfectly irresistible in its influence.
"The best-laid schemes of mice and men
pans aft aglce," however, and the present
instance fully demonstrates the truth of
the old couplet The Georgia trick was
well enough planned, but was sadly
spoiled in the execution ; the coat was cut
out, but not fitted together. The first mis
take the devisers of this little game made
was to tell so huge and palpable a lie that
people found great difficulty in believing
it However, this embarrassment might
have been got over had not some witless
meddler, - w ho was . not in the, se
cret, insisted on a speedy trial of
those charged with being the leaders of
the plot. This spoiled the whole affair
and at one jnmp the cat was out. of ..the
wallet and away. Corday Harris, who
was accused of being the chief in the new
Communistic move, was brought to trial
at Sandersville, Ga., and, after a few
hours spent in examining ' State's , wit
nesses, the lawyers made their usual florid
declamations, and the defense rested with
out the introduction of a single witness in
behalf of the prisoner. The jury brought
in a verdict of "not guilty." The prose
cution failed so signally-in endeavoring
to make a case that even the enemies of
the accused were obliged to admit his in
nocence. So the " Great Georgia Wrar of
Ibices" makes its bow and final exit.
Where the Southern Democrats will next
go to work in order to manufacture matter
for campaign documents is uncertain. It
is a hard task to make bricks without
either clay or straw; but since they have
essayed it no wonder they find it a boot
less job. St. Louis Globe-lfemocrat,Sept. 4.
Sot Yet Ended.
It is somewhat amusing to see Demo
cratic editors, who never indorsed the Re
publican parti' or aDJf of its measures, give
as a reason for the faith that is in them ot
the defeat aw aiting the Republican parky
that the mission of said parly is ended. It
ii fairly dcducible from the remark that
said editors mean that the mission of the
Republican party was to save the Union
when threatened by the Democracy. An
honest confession is said to be good for the
soul, and the confession couched in the
declaration that the Republican parry has
a mission and performed it demonstrates
that the editors aforesaid are not soulless.
But the mission of the Republican party
is not wholly ended. True, through its
instrumentality, the Democratic rebellion
was crushed like an egg in full grip, as
Grant once expressed it, but its mission
will not be wholly fulfilled until the Dem
ocracy is as dead as is their rebellion.
When the Republican party attained
power it had to confront a leading tenet
of the Democratic parly, to the effect that
one or more States had the right to secede
at will or pleasure, and thatthe Union had
no power of self-preservation. That dog
ma has never been as publicly recanted as
it was enunciated, and it is fair to presume
that it is yet a part of the Democ ratic con
fession of faith.
Maoy of the leaders of the late rebell--ion
still live. Jeff Davis, the Jupiter
Anion of the unholy war, struts the earth,
gloryin g in his shame. He and his com
peers look with favor on the contemplated
overthrow of the Republican party and
flie accession to ower of the Democracy.
The fruition of their hopes would be
equivalent to smirching the Starry Ban
ner, unseemly as dancing upon the graves
of the heroes" who fell fighting traitors,
and devilish as the deification of J.
Wilkes Booth. Oh, no! while the- air
w hich Republicans breathe hedges in de
veloped traitors yearning for Democratic
victory, the Republican party will success
fully resist all opposition.
.' Wc do not know what the Democratic
party has been allowed to live so long for,

which the organized enemy of our nation

year there will be a big funeral proces
sion, and the leading carriage will be oc

Is This a Nation!
The New Haven Register, the State
sovereignty organ of Senator Eaton, wants
to know " when and where Thomas Jeff
erson ever spoke of this Government oth
er than United States." Beck, of Ken
tucky, who aspires to the Senatorship,
says that " nation," when used to de
scrilie the American people, is " a con
temptible word," and the New Haven
Register applauds the sentiment. The
Springfield Republican, undertakes to
oblige the Register, as follows:
"Happy to oblige. One of the times
was the day of his inauguration as Presi
dentMarch 4, 1801. "in the first para
graph of his address rn that interesting
occasion he described the American peo
ple as ' a rising nation, spread over a wide
and fertile land.' In the second paragraph
he spoke of the recent contest of opinion
the Presidential canvas, to-wit as be
ing now decided by the voice of the na
tion. A fortnight before, in replying to
the committee appointed to notify him of
his election, he had expressed gratitude at
receiving such a testimony of confidence
from the great representative council of
our nation;' had spoken of the 'legislative
will of the nation,' and had begged the
committee to convey to the Congress ' the
sentiments of zeal and fidelity' by which
he hoped to ' merit these proofs of confi
dence from the nation.' The Register
will find the text of the reply in the
journal of the House of Representatives
for Feb. 21, 101. Another of the times
was on the occasion of the meeting of the
Seventh Congress. In the first paragraph
of his first message sent in Dec. 1S01
he speaks of sister nations.' In the
body of the paper he has something to
sny about 'the energies of our nation.' In
the closing paragraph he saj-s: 'Thee,
fellow-citizens, are the matters respecting
the state of the nation which I have
thought of importance to be submitted to
your consideration at this time.' We
might multiply these citations, but it is
hardly necessary."

" it is notorious that there is more desire
for reform among the Republicans than
there is among the Democrats." Of course
there is. Ami furthermore, scratch a Dem

A Tramp for II re.
A correspondent says : The recent walk
of Prof. Brooks calls to inj mind a case,
an account of which was never published
on the Atlantic coast, of a real feat, of
walking endurance, for life, by a Pacific
coast miner, and no swindle or brag is
connected with this case. During the
winter of 18G4 a party headed by Bacon,
the Elk i'ounty expressman, started from
Lewiston, Nez Perces Count-, Indian
Territory, for Elk City, a spur of the
Rocky Mountains, whose altitude is not
lass than 12,000 feet through dense timber.
Leaving Silverwood's mountain-house
no stopping place existed until twenty-six
miles Mere made over mountains to New.
6ome Creek. In the party of some 6eyen
or eight was one Richard Wildan, a Nor
wegian, well-know n to the writer of this
article. He had the ill-luck to break a
snow-shoe and was advised to take it back
to Silverwood's, as the party could not
stop in the suow. Believing he could go
back by the plainly-marked trail in the
snow and blazes on the trees for a guide,
the others pushed on and safely arrived
at Elk City, and no fears were expressed
regarding the fate of Wildan till, seven
days later, a new party crossed the mount
tain, and then it was ascertained Wildan
had not gone back.
Immediate!' a party was mustered and
on snow-shoes started out to find the lost
man. His trail was at last found and fol
lowed by the hardy pioneers in search of
him. On the ninth day he was found, still
on foot, walking in a circle on the hard
l eaten trail of his own making, his feet
badly frozen, yet inclosed in the sleeves of
his coat, which he had wrapped about
them.
The thermometer showed nine degrees
below zero a great part of the time he was
struggling on his feet for life. The party
finding him saw that he was thoroughly
crazy. On accosting him and asking if
be was not hungry he at once replied no.
He w as fed on pork and beans at a house
not far back. Not a trace could be found
where he had sat down, not a sign of
w here he could have taken a rest in fact,
with the cold never less than four degrees
lielow zero, he never had walked had he
rested. He w as brought to. New some
Creek station on the ninth night of this
w ild, cold; unfed, cheerless walk in deep
snow, tenderly cared for by Wall ifc
Heard, keepers of the Ncwsome Creek
House, and eventually recovered ' so as to
do a good season's work with a pick and
shovel in a mining, cam) ' called Elon
Water station, sixteen miles below the
Elk City camp. Mr. Wildan was a man
of about 108 pounds weight, short and
stout.
That this article is true in every respect
is easily to be proven. Loyal P. Brown,
Deputy United States Tax Collector, now
of Mount Idaho, or Mr. Charles Frush, a
clerk now in the land-office of the Interior
Department, can Vouch for the general
truthfulness of this slight sketch. Here is
a case where seven days of real walking
took place without any refreshment or se
lection of apparel, without cheer of any
kind and all for life. Let lVols prance on
boards, stages, etc. Dick Wildan's feat
will overshadow anything they ever can
do. I hope some representative man
from Idaho will see this article and give
the particulars 'more fully than is here
done, although this is a simple account in
all truth given. Wildan and those who
found him anil cared for him should live
in history, and I hope he is still on his
feet as strong as when found.
Trolling on Horseback.
Fishing with a trolling-line on horse
back is a novel sport. A correspondent of
Forest ami Stream tells how he did it in
Florida:
Some seven 3-ears ago I was living in
Bradford County, of this State, and partly
for pleasure ami parti- for business found
occasion to visit an acquaintance some fif
teen miles distant, in Allachua County.
Near my friend's residence were several
well-known lakes, which swarm with the
Southern black bass, or, as the natives
here misname them, trout. I intended on
leaving home to have some sport in that
line, and took along a common spoon
hook and a jointed" bamboo rod. My
friend doubted its usefulness.
He looked upon that group of three
rather small hooks with a smile of in
credulity. Bass are usually caught in this
country with live bait, ami when the na
tives use artificial it is composed of a
bunch of gaudy feathers and rags, with
half a dozen large cod-hooks, the whole
thing as large as one?s two lists, and made
fast to a stout cord three or four feet long,
and this in turn fastenetl to a stout spruce
or cane pole. A man stands in the bow of
a skiff, and as be is paddled along the
edge of the lily pads bobs this " liy" on
the surface. "When he gets a bite (and
they do rise to it freely) he pulls the fish
in by the rod, main strength, hand over
hand. Know ing, ns I did, this style, I
really could not blame him for having
doubts of my little spoon. He was unde
ceived, however, the same evening, w hen I
astonished the natives, and my'selfa well,
by having all I could attend to in the
shape of bass.
The next day we were riding along the
bank of the lake near his bouse, which,
like many others in this region, has sunk
partially, so as to leave a strip of beach
some thirty or forty feet wide around it.
Firm footing for a horse to the very edge,
and even into the water anywhere. In
the bright light I could see many bass,-a-nd
an occasional pickerel, called here
jack fish, lying eight or ten feet from
shore. Of course I wished for my rod,
as any fisherman would under the cir
cumstances, and the -thought instantly
flashed through my mind, why dismount
to fish? why not fish from horseback?
Nothing more easy, certainly, and as
soon as I returned to the house I extem
porized a gaff, fastened a grain-sack to the
pommel of mysaddle, and set out.
I rode along the edge of the water with
from forty to sixty feet of line trailing be
hind me, and it was perfectly astonishing
to me to see the way in which the fish
struck at that spoon. When I fastened
one of course 1 halted, and rode out into
about three and one-half feet of water.
Then the fun began, for at first my horse
was not inclined to allow an eight or ten
pound bass to be splashing about in such
i close proximity ; but, after two or three
j were reeled in and safely deposited in the
! grain-bag he seemed to take almost as
much interest in it a 1 did. Alter that
day's experience I never was dependent on
a boat for goxl bass-fishing, and even tried
it by moonlight with excellent success.

living in a Canada town, presents a case
in point. He stole a few hours from his
busy round of toil the other day to go to a
Sunday-school picnic, first taking the pre
caution to put his house in order and hide
everything of value from the eye of
chance intruders. On his return from the
festivities, in which he had joined very
heartily, he built a roaring fire in the
kitchen stove preparatory to cooking his
evening meal. A neighbor happened in,
however, and Invited him to take tea else

Fort the destruction of the cockroach
Mr. Harris, the late eminent entomolo
gist, recommends a mixture containing a
tablespoonful of red lead,thesame amount
of Indian meal, with molasses enough to
make a thick batter. Set this on a plate
at night in places frequented by the in
sects and all that cat of it will be poi
soned. Another preparation is composed
of one teaspoonful of powdered arsenic
with a tablespoonful of mashed po'tato.
Crumble this every night at bedtime
where the insects will find it, and it is
said to be an effectual oison. Great care
should be exercised in the use of such
dangerous agents. An innocent method
of destroying cockroaches is to place a
bowl or basin containing a little molasses
on the floor at night. A bit of wood, rest
ing one end on the floor and the other on
the edge of the vessel, serves as abridge
to conduct the insects to the sweet deposit.
Once in the trap its slippery sides prevent
retreat, and thus cockroaches may be
caught by the thousands. Various insect
powders "sold at the druggists may be used

The Higher Aim in Farming.
The higher aim of every intelligent
tiller of the soil should be the improve
ment of the productiveness of his land
until it reaches the point where maximum
crops are produced at the least expense.
Wise husbandry regards the farm simply
as a machine for turning out crops. The
machine is the matter of first importance.
This is always to be kept in good running
order, and its efficiency is to be increased
by all economical methods. The man
who farms upon this system will never
sacrifice soil tor a great crop. His aim is
to have every crop taken off. leaving the
land in a belter condition than he found
it. He aims in every working ot the soil
to increase its depth and to add to it more
elements of fertility than he removes in
the crops, and to make the crops not only
pay for themselves but to pay for the im
provement of the acres upon which they
are grown. In carrying out this aim, so
as to realize these results, a man shows
his skill as a cultivator. It is a compara
tively easy thing for anyone who has
money to improve the soil so that it shall
produce crops paying for the labor of
growing them and the interest on !?'200 or
!j;:J00 an acre. Stable manure enough
well plowed in will do this. But it is al
together another matter to make this im
provement pay for itself. Yet it is a pos
sible thing to do this, and there are farm
ers skillful enough to accomplish this re
sult, and this we hold to be the true aim
in the cultivation of the soil. The most
judicious improvements those which
finally pay the largest profits require
several years to bring in their full returns.
It is a matter of great importance that our
farming population should not only be
settled, but that they should feel settled,
and plan all their operations upon the
farm as if they expected to spend their
days upon it. J Y. Herald.
Broom Corn Harvesting.
A couitEsi'ONDENT of the Rural World
gives the following brief description :
As soon as the seeds on the stalk are in
the milk, one man should go ahead and
Uible, by bending the stalks of two rows
across each other, about two feet from the
ground. The brush projects beyond the
row and is then cut and laid on the table
thus formed to dry. The third row is
then cut and laid on the same table; by
this means the wagon row is cut that is,
a w agon row on every six rows. I will
explain a, b, c, d, e, f represent six
rows; a, b, c and fare table rows; c iscut
and placed upon the table of a and b; d
is cut and placed upon the table rows of
e and f. It is easy to see that c and d are
wagon rows with a table on each side,
convenient for loading into the wagon.
One hand will table for four or five cutters.
Jn cutting, if the brush is large, six
inches of stalk should be left to it; but to
the small brush much more, say eight to
twelve inches. Knives should be pro
cured with good handles and kept sharp.
Threshing the seed off' is the next thing.
A cylinder of wood, twelve inches long
and ten inches in diameter, must be pro
vided. It should be of solid wood. Into
this iron or steel spikes should be driven,
two inches apart, with three left outside
the cylinder. This is propelled by horse
or steam power. I put my corn in racks
eight inches apart instead of six. The
yield varies with me from 400 to fOO
pounds to the acre. 1 find that the culti
vation costs but a trirle more than that of
the corn crop until the broom coin is
ready to cut, and the cost of baling is jut
double that of hay.
Fall Plowing.
Fall plowing is a popular method of
treating stubble fields, yet we have know n
old farmers to object to it, arguing that so
much exposure of the soil to the sun and
drying winds caused a large part of the
fertility to escape therefrom. The satu
rated and dry condition of the soil being
alternated rapidly from too much expos
ure to the heat of the sun and drying
winds hastens the decomposition of the
organic matter or manures in the soil and
couverts the vegetable mold into gases",
the only form of nourishment fit for plant
food, so rapidly and in such abundance
that the soil is unable to contiin it all.
This surplus fertility passes into the at
mosphere to remain until carried dowu
again by rains to enrich other farms.
However truy this argument may lx
there are other claims in favor of tae fall
plowing sufficiently valid to more than
overbalance all the objections to it, if the
work le properly done. There is much
to Ik- gained by early p'.owiug, before the
weed seeds have time to mature their
germs of perpetual annoyance to the vigi
liut farmer. Iuthiswy both the p reu-

nure, which rpon spring plowing remains
in a raw state, to "fire" the crops, and
causes no little damage during very dry
seasons.
The ground also becomes thoroughly
disintegrated and settled by the freezing
process of winter, which puts it in a bet
ter condition to receive and promote the
growth of spring crops than freshly
plowed land. It especially admits of
early sowing of small grain, without
which a good yield is seldom produced.
And to have the important work of
plowing already done when the rush of
work comes in a backward spring is no
small desideratum. The dryer and lump
ier the ground is when plowed the less
liable it is to become run together and
"baked" from heavy rains during fall
and winter. Speaking of this puts us in
mind to call attention to (he importance
of laying off the lands for plowing in
such manner that the surface-drainage
will le most perfect, so that the fields
will be relieved as far as possible of the
surface water. Only he who observes all
these rules can claim the title of "model
farmer." Western Rural.
About "Overwork."
A favorite theme with the editors of so
called health journals and household
medical guides is that of "overwork,"
and so much has been written on this sub
ject, and of such a nature, that, w ere we
to believe and act upon the advice thus
given, the world would become almost a
hive of drones. We confidently believe
that so far as honest brain-work goes the
more we do of it the better, and if owing
to a reckless disregard of recognized hy
gienic and sanitary laws tin occasional
"student" finds an early grave, let the
blame be put where it belongs, and not
credited to the worthy zeal that some call
"overwork." Having long held to this
opinion and believing that facts would
sustain us, we are gratified to find that an
eminent English physician has given ex
pression to alike view, and, coining as it
does from one high in authority, we trust
it will receive the attention from both
students and drones that it deserves. We
condense from Dr. Wilk's communication
as it appears in the Lancet, as follows:
After answering the simple question "Are
people suffering from overwork?" with a
decided "No!" the writer says: "Medi
cally speaking, I see half a dozen
persons suffering from want of oc
cupation to one who is crippled
by his labors. Very often, when
a business man complains of being
overdone, it may be found that his meals
are irregular and hurried, that he takes no
exercise, is rather partial to brandy-and-soda,
and thinks it is not improper to
poison" himself with nicotine every night
and morning." Passing from man to
woman, the case is made to appear even
more severe. It is not overwork, there
fore, that is to be deprecated, provided the
work is legitimate, and such as to claim a
normal exercise of the functions. The
brain is an engine of many horse-power;
its energy must be accounted for in some
way; if not used for good purposes it will
be for bad, and " mischief will be found
for idle hands to do." So the work is
actually a safeguard. The human Ixuly
is made for work, and just as the muscles
are better prepared for work by previous
training, so the nervous system, "w hether it
be the brain or spinal column, becomes
more energized by use. It is only during
sleep that the brain is actually inactive,
and hence, if we will not give it work to
do, it will find that to engage its energy,
even though in theend the labor be profit
less. After referring in a plain though
hardly gentle maimer to the men and
women whom the frivolities of life
keep "idly busy,'' the writer contrasts
them with those" whose minds are never
at rest, aud yet who live to a good old
age. As the closing passages are not only
truthful as to facts, but of value by the
suggestions they cont iin, we are prompted
to quote them at length, and should there
be among our readers some of these over
worked brain-workers they will find in
these words sage counsel and encourage
ment. The writer refers to the honest,
cheerful, but constant workers as follows:
" Practically they have no rest, tor, when
one object of stully is complete, they com
mence to pursue another. It is by the
happy faculty of diverting the powers into
different channels that this is accom
plished. Instances might easily be quoted
of statesmen, judges and members of our
own profession who know no absolute
rest, and who would smile at the suspi
cion of hard work injuring any man. I
make it a custom to ask young men what
their scr.'ond occupation is what pursuit
have they besides their bread-earning em
ployment. Those are happiest who pos
sess some object of interest, but lam sorry
to say there are few who find delight in
any branch of science. The purely
scientific man finds his best recreation in
literature or art, but even in intellectual
work so many different faculties are em
ployed that a pleasant diversion is found
in simply changing the kind of labor.
For example, a Judge after sitting
all day, And giving his closest attention to
the details of the cases before him, may
yet find relief in his evenings by solving
problems in mathematics. The subject
of overwork, then, is one of the greatest
importance to study, and has to be dis
cussed daily by all of us. My own opin
ion has already been expressed, that the
evils attending it "on the community at
large are vastly over-estimated; and, judg
ing from my own experience, the persons
with unstrung nerves who apply to the
doctor are, not the Prime-Minister, the
Bishops, Judges and hard-working pro
fessional men, but merchants and stock
brokers retired from business, Govern
ment clerks who work from ten to four,
women whose domestic duties and bad
servants are driving them to the grave,
young ladies whose visits to the village
school or Sunday performance on the or
gan are undermining their health, and so
on. In short, and this is the object of the
remarks with which I have troubled your
readers, that in my experience 1 see
more ailments arise from want of occupa
tion than from overwork, and, taking the
various kinds of nervous and dyspeptic
ailments which we are constantly treating,
I find at least six due to idleness to one
from overwork." Applf-tons Journal.
How Much Will a Cow Eat
. J. II. S., Union City, Erie County, Pa.,
gives his experience as follows:
Three days since I filled my barn with
five acres of Hungarian hay, "taken from
ordinary ground, yield two and one-half
tons per acre. 1 weigh all my milk, run
a milk wagon, have one acre of sugar
beets, cic.
I find that eight cows w ill eat a wagon
load of sowed corn in forty-eight hours.
It is surprising the amount of food a hearty
cow w ill eat in a few hours. The wind
blew down my sow ed corn about the last
of July, 1874, and, as pastures were short,
I thought it would be safe to feed it. So
bad was it lodged that it could not be set
up and cured. For eight cows 1 be
gan wheeling the corn to them by
the whcelbarrov-load. This was slow
work, as the cows would consume
one load while I was after the other.
1 then took it to them by the
wagon-load, keeping the cows in at night.
One small wagon-load would not sulitce.
I thought 1 would like to know how many
pounds one cow could go through in a
day. I weighed one load, and found it to
be"2,:4." pounds, and on Saturday, July
10, five p. m., the eight cows were set to
work. Let me say further that they were
not starved for forty-eight or twenty-four
hours prior to this, but were well filled at
the time of beginning the task. At .-even
p. m. the stalks were turned over to them
until they were full, and enough for their
lunch during the night left within reach.
They were let out for water on Sunday, but
were not thirsty, only two indulging. They
were fed three times on Sunday. None
would drink Monday. Agaiu they were
fed during Monday. At five p. m. the
w hole load, 2,34-1 pounds, was consumed,
au average of 140? j' pounds per day, or
each cow ate 21)3 pounds in the forty
eight hours, and were c"t uncomfortable
either. The cows shrank, during 'he
time, about three jouuds each. The corn
sowed as Ohio mixed. At time of cut
ting it fully ten fect hi-h. F:ni

observed, thisu:i:intr. the more " fodder"
J ted the !e; uilk my cow ve. I re
gard grass as better for milch-cows than
fodder, unless you are making butter. I
sell my milk in town, and, to produce it
in large quantities, I feed "brewers'
malt." This, alone, produces a large flow
of poor "lacteal fluid," but, followed up
with meal or corn and oats ground togeth
er, it makes a large flow of good milk. I
cannot afford, these hard times, to buy
meal, so I feed sowed corn (cut and fed
green), w hich answers every purpose and
is much cheaper.
